The Ashley Madison breach is proving to be a continuing source of social unrest as more names are popping up from the hacked data, names that represent husbands, fathers, church leaders, and even public servants. And it seems like the domino effect of these compromised emails getting into public awareness is just starting. 

The leaked emails from the Ashley Madison site are also revealing an interesting set of statistics. A data presentation by a contributor on Reddit shows that Alabama has the highest credit card transactions linked to the site. Interestingly, IBTimes reports on the observations of William K Bradford, a divorce attorney based in Alabama, who said he was not surprised Alabama got the rather humiliating distinction.

"Frankly Alabama has if not the highest then one of the highest divorce rates in the country," Bradford claimed. "We were the number one state in the union for the percentage of divorces, our rate for divorces is very high." 

The data leaks from Ashley Madison are slowly validating existing statistical realities.

Dadaviz also got hold of the leaked emails and revealed that among tech giants, IBM has the highest number of membership to the Ashley Madison site. The company has 311 people under its payroll subscribed to the service of the site. HP on the other hand takes the second place with 160 employees subscribed to the site. This, too, paints an interesting picture on how deep the implications of the security breach really is. 

Josh Duggar is not the last reality celebrity star who would have to face the humiliation of having been found to be a subscriber of the extra marital affair website. Jionni Lavalle, the husband of "Jersey Shore" star Snooki, is also registered to the site as reported by US Weekly. LaValle apparently is not alone as he is also joined by Josh Taekman, Daily Mail reported. Taekman is a star of the reality show "The Real Housewives of New York." His credit card is said to have recorded thousands worth of payments that went back as far as 2011.
